Cape Cod Tonneau

Cape Cod tonneau, or time in brackets…

Cape Cod, the elegant seaside resort on the east coast of the United States, is also the name of a line of Hermès watches expressing a style based on “elegance in movement”.

The very first Cape Cod, created in 1991 by Henri d’Origny, was inspired by the “Chaîne d’ancre” bracelet and included its rectangular case in the emblematic link of the House.

This case, more cambered today, has given rise to the Cape Cod tonneau, which revives the curvaceous design of the original link. Another signature feature of the collection is the double tour strap; an iconic design which has reinforced its figurative ties with the line since 1998.
